Crayon Brix
Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.
For painting and drawing
8 wrapperless extra-thick aqua-crayons come in a cool brick shape. Great colour, and they can be painted with too! Some children find the thick rectangular shape easier to grip securely. Come in their own reusable clear plastic case.

Play Tip!
Crayon Brix can also be painted with if dipped in water. Older kids seem to find this set with it's own case very "cool". The shape provides a change and a new challenge for budding artists. If your child has trouble with traditional cylindrical crayons - these may be easier to handle. They are excellent quality with strong true colour. Of course they are non-toxic, although kids should not snack on them! They are not washable so you don't want them used on the walls. And do use a smock!

Q: Can my child make the reciprocal (bicycling) motion with their legs while seated upright?
A: Perhaps straps on the pedals are enough to keep the feet on the pedals throughout the entire trip around. If we need more help, then a Journey model provides incredible torso support, and it shifts the angle of the reciprocating leg motion towards that back where many children can handle it better.
